Don't compare toys and multimedia consoles mario's fans (wii = a gamecube ps2,2 without games and online), no one here cares about iphone, ds, or wii sells.
" and I would love to see them close the gap faster and put massive pressure on MS"
it's already the case since 2006, more than never sice september, don't be in denial because of ms statements (or lies).
"How can a thread about microsoft sales be this big, when so many people say they don't care about sales?
"
you know, ms fans are always (and only) playing sales, even when they are not great (spin power), it's the only (virtual) little victory they can have today (if you don't know japan and europe numbers)
PS2 = 120 millions consoles, 120 millions lens, not a fiasco, just a fragile element.
you can't compare with the incredible and unbeattable xbox fail rate.
"it currently has around a 6 or 7 million console lead"
only in your dreams, or fownews kotaku news.
LOL.
xbox dream to be as doomed as ps3
You can also think that Xbox is alive because americans buy it...
ask to yourself why someone would buy a 360, more than a ps3 now (except brainwashed and friends of xbox owners) : for japanese or others "neutral gamers", the decision is very easy when you want a "next gen" console.
Darth, you are right, only kotaku trust their own lies :
"2008 was a strong year for the Xbox 360 in Japan"
LOL.
bububut ps3 softwares don't sell.
even with many more great games/exclusives than competitors, games are selling very well.
", I am certain that fear and jealousy will be what motivates owners of a certain console to attack Halo Reach"
don't dream, ps3 owners don't care about anything on 360, if they want one, they can have one, since day one (you can't tell the same thing for X360 haters)
If you want to sell more softwares, you have to sell more hardware, simple ;)
sony was doing good (best sells for several publicers) with 10 millions less consoles, now, with piracy on xbox and more ps3 on the market..i let you imagine.
Bu bu bu bluray will loose
PS3 is doomed
Killzone can't exist...etc
and now, the new one :
"Yeah to bad the software sales isn't improving"
fans in denial don't want to know that sales are very good worlwide, they prefer to only knows (and repeat like parrots) that uncharted, in us, don't sales more than halo (don't ask them about forza or fable, they don't want to know too, rumor&lie's world is so peacefull for their troubled mind...
"When talking graphics and how good something looks, it's never a fact "
LOL, xboxer in serious denial.
YOu are right, when we talk about "beauty", "colors", etc, but when we are talking about polygons, textures, lights, animation, etc things who make uncharted really incredible, and superior to anything else (and impossible on X360 : even the first, clearly inferior to the 2), it's just a cruel fact.
Don't be hypocrit, you know that xbox fans are the worst since 2006, they are allways downplaying the best games on ps3, even when they are GOTY and graphicly really superior to anything else on 360, and each time they are doing that, they are also crying and call him a fanboy, when someone tell the facts.
by the way, they are also worst when someone just say the truth, or give opinions, about games like halo (games that you can't compare with jewel like uncharted or others big...
You are right, like scene it was, but they have to make only easy stuff for their public, a lot of uneducated americans..
Don't change the rules "the max speed", gamers who like ps3 don't care about xbox, they can buy one since day one if they want (only some ms fans are like that since 2006, because they can't buy a ps3)
"Gamekult is a very popular french webzine."
gamekult is also well know for "hard" notes (and really biased, worst than edge against ps3)
European charts not approved (lol@xboxfans) and that kind of biased joke is ?
"the system being the high-performance machine of the generation"
ANd ? it is the high (and best) performance machine of the generation donkey.
Just learn to read (or buy a brain)
